THROWING JONAH OVERHEARD.

Why is it that the elections oflast
year and Of this year have gone
against the Democratic partyl
Why did it lose Indiana and Virgin.
ia and sustain serious losses in North
Carolina and West virginiai Why
was the party utterly demoralized
and nearly wiped out in Cincinnati,
Chicago, Milwaukee, and other
Western citiesf Why has its ma.
jority been cut down one.half in
Kentucky, on the largest vote, it
now appears, ever cast there 7
Were all these States and COM
munities affected by personal dis.
like " OF the Presidents The voters
have expressed at the ballot box
what The World has expressed in
its columns, sense of deep disap-
pointment and dissatisfaction at the
lack of actual achievements by the
Administrator of their choice.
We do not consider that Presi-
dent Cleveland Is so much RESPONSE
BILE for this failure and the conse-
quent disafection as the editors Of
the party journals and its leaders.
They have been silent when they
should have spoken. They have
fattered him hypocritically when
they should have told the truth.
How could 1t be expected that even
a well-meaning and honest man, in.
experienced in national affairs and
unacqaainced with the country and
its public men, should correct his
mistakes and act wisely when both
the Mugwumps, on whom he had
leaned and his own party friends
have persisted in representing to
him that his errors were marvel
Gus exhibitions Of discretion and
that his blunders were most sagaci.
GUS strokes of craftsmanship
Such is not our idea of the editor
ial function. Such is not our notion
Of personal kindness or party fealty.
When really courageous journal
like The Brooklyn Eagle can serious
ly propose President-worship, and
name CIevelandism as the single
shibboleth and the sole standard of
the Democratic party, the wonder is
not that the President has not done
better, bat that he has not done much
worse.-N. Y. World.

and, like the Psalmist of old. / am

to have disappointment greet US at

you are my wife, can but touch
your hand and lie helplessly here

few short hours, even that will go,
and though your arm hold me close,

things. Comfort me, say something

Hush, Jasper, hush; it was

my heart to have you speak so. So,

The separation will not be for long;
only like one of those journeys you

were bright and hopeful. Don't You

Army of West Virginia, which was
held in Wheeling last week, was
marred during its closing hours by
an incident which every right-feel.
ing citizen will deeply regret. The
occurrence occurred Friday, during
the G. A. r. parade, and consisted
in the refusal of a majority of the
members of that order to pass under
a banner adorned with a caricature
of Cleveland, as "Commander in
Chief Of the American Army
There is little or no doubt that the
banner was placed where it was as a
direct insult to the G.. A. r. men
who had gathered from several
neighboring States, and whose pres
ence was leading feature of the
occasion. The Indignation express
ed was by no means confined to Re-
publican ex soldiers, but was shared
by Democrats, who we're in the
ranks. There will, of course, be
wide difference of opinion as to the
wisdom of the course Of those who
refused to march under the hated
inscription. We believe major
ity of the G. A. r. will endorse their
action; but there will be many who

ed the bitter pill, did best. Persons
away from the scene and judging
only by newspaper accounts, can,
perhaps, hardly give a fair decision.
But any fair.minded man will admit
that the veterans had very great
provocation to do what they did. 1t
was G. A. r. day, a G. A. r. parade,
and an attempt was made to force
them to do homage to the man
whose acts toward the old soldiers
have been so inimical and insulting.
President Cleveland, while the com
mander.in- chief of the army, has
nothing in common with the G. A.
r. The only argument possible to
be advanced in support of the claim
that the veterans should have quiet.
~ submitted, is that a certain
amount of respect IS due the Office,
even if the man is unworthy. This
is true, and under ordinary circum.
stances might be convincing argu.
ment, but all the conditions. of this
occurrence must be remembered. 1t
was not the picture which made the
trouble, but that the veterans be-
lieved it was put up for this particu.
lar day and as an insult to them.
Another unpleasant incident was
Gov. Windy" Wilson's bad break
at the Mcclure House. He was at
tended to by Gov. Foraker, OF Ohio,
who, in lively joint discussion,
completely knocked the West Vir-
ginian out. The incident will likely
have a political effect, which. Gov.
Wilson probably did not foresee.
Meanwhile Wheeling is to be pltied.
The Reunion is to be held there
next year and occurrences like those
detailed above may interfere with
the success, from business point of
view, OF the meeting of 'SS. 1t is a
pity the business men of Wheeling
could not have suppressed the ban

different individuals to some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids OF
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in

furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of Or

symptom or the two may alternate. There
are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood,
There may be giddiness and often headache
